Nidra means sleep in Sanskrit – in class you are led through a distinct style of meditation which keeps you just between wakefulness and sleep because this is where you are at your most creative and most able to heal, both physically and mentally. The paradox of this practice is that you’re lying down, making yourself as comfortable as possible, looking like you are asleep but trying not to fall asleep. Our lives are so busy these days, sometimes we need the space to explore what’s going on internally without the distraction of updog and downdog - that’s what Nidra is for. Some weeks you may have vivid experiences through the meditation and some weeks you might sleep through the whole class, either way is what you need!

6. Ignites your creative thought!
